Hi guys/girls



This is my first post on here so please go easy on me.

I'm a novice when it comes to scrap metal although I have been doing it for a few years. I only scrap shotgun coax cable which I get a lot of doing my day job. Up until now I have always taken it in "dirty" as I think you experts call it but recently the price has dropped dramatically. If I strip it I will be left with the copper core and the braid which is silver in colour, my questions is what metal is the silver coloured braid and is it worth the effort? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
